Cogra Moss

Visitor information

Explore the winding footpaths and beautiful views of Cogra Moss, near Ennerdale Bridge

Cogra Moss is a beautiful enclosed forest surrounding a reservoir which is now used by the Cockermouth Angling Association.

The walk up to the dam is along surfaced tracks. Beyond the dam a number of unsurfaced paths provide you with great access around the reservoir in a loop.

For the more adventurous, the walk up onto the top of Blake Fell is harder but provides fantastic views of the northern Lake District fells, Scotland, the Solway Coast and Isle of Man.
